Job 28: 20 “From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding? V 23 God understands its way, and He knows its place.”
Dear God,
I give praise because it is uplifting to reflect upon Your might and power that can do all things, about which we mortals really know very little and we certainly do not know how many things were made or are maintained in the purpose, for which You created them. We can know for certainty however, because of what is revealed in Your holy word, that You created all things in love, and that You love all that You create.
Job, expounded to his accusers, upon the different functioning aspects of the universe, to an amazing degree. Which revealed the human wisdom of those times, but no matter the mighty things accomplished by mankind then or now, they do not match the true wisdom and understanding of all things by the Creator. Job who thought he knew God and His ways was given a rebuke that he did not, by God, recorded in Job Chapters 38 – 41. Job did however know and love his God with all of his true heart, and we find in, Job 28: 28 “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. And to depart from evil is understanding.”
It is good to know, You are in everyplace and doing of my life, and when I in prayer I ask, You surely do fill me with thoughts toward You and expand my inadequate understanding and wisdom. You have given wonderful promises in scripture, that You are also my defense against Satan, who lies about Your character to each of us.
Please be my strength and wisdom in overcoming conceit and wrong attitudes; for it is not good works alone that please You. I am reminded of the truth in, Jeremiah 9: 24 “’But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,’ says the Lord.’”
I glory in Your glory today, and delight and praise You for it; as well as the delight You have in ‘exercising’ loving actions to me.
Amen
